Room was clean staff we’re really friendly and happy to help , there was parking available the hotel was right in the centre of Richmond so lots of shops restaurants and pubs on the door step , the food was lovely and we had no issues at all with our stay and would return
Brand new bathrooms lovely rooms history of a 400 year old building not lost. Staff even more amazing helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the area. Made the stay even better.
A lovely stay in this beautiful old pub/hotel. Perfect location for bars and restaurants. Staff very warm and friendly.
I had the single room for a one night stay visiting my son at Catterick. The room was spotless. Very comfortable single bed, gorgeous bathroom with products and well stocked tea and coffee (very important and usually lacking in hotel rooms!). Don’t forget an eye mask if you are a sensitive sleeper though as there’s a small green flashing light on the ceiling!
It was fine for an overnight stop well stocked bar, breakfast a bit pricey if you do not take advantage of the full buffet, we had an evening meal that was fair.
Our room 14 was right at the top of the building and not best access for a couple in their seventies very winding steep stairs, but we do appreciate it is a very old building. We also had a very strong smell in the bathroom and had to leave the fan on to keep it at bay.
Staff were friendly and helpful
Very hospitable staff, food and beer were excellent. Excellent location. Parking was a bit tight, and a bit tortuous to the rooms, but overall it was pretty much as expected, and an enjoyable stay.
What a great place this is, full of character warm and friendly atmosphere and the staff were great. It was always busy with people eating and the food we had on both evening's was very good and the waiting staff excellent, we had breakfast both morning's which again was very good the only down side was there was no fresh fruit available in the breakfast room ( we didn't inquire if this was an option though ) the pub is ideally located for everything and there is parking available but on a first come first served basis although there is plenty of parking elsewhere. All in all we had a great stay and will be back next time we visit Richmond, we would definitely recommend the black lion as a great place to stay for sure.
